Abstract:
Climate change increases the risk of tropical diseases-previously rare in Central Europe-emerging as local or zoonotic infections, not just imported cases. Diagnosing such illnesses without a travel history is challenging, especially given their atypical presentations and potential for neurological complications. We highlight the recent spread of mosquito vectors and focus on West Nile fever, dengue, and chikungunya, discussing their typical symptoms and possible nervous system involvement, emphasizing the need for heightened awareness among neurologists in our region.
